Athletic 3 - Celta 0. Muniain makes it three in 80th minute. Athletic just about through to play Betis!

Half time, Athletic 2 - Celta 0. Susaeta scores from Ibai cross just before break! 2-1 on aggregate, but Celta away goal would swing it!

Athletic 1 - Celta 0. Muniain gives the locals the lead on the night, min 21. That makes it all square in the tie!!!

Espanyol 2 - Jaén 0! Espanyol to meet Alcorcón thanks to goals by Simao & Sidnei!!! Next up Athletic v Celta!!!

Rayo 3 - Valladolid 1!!! Bueno gets a third in injury time to take Rayo through to meet Levante!!!

...no they can't!!! Valencia scrape through 1-0 v Nàstic, and will meet Atlético in the next round! Great fight though by the Catalans!!!

Valencia v Nàstic still 1-0! visiting keeper Tomeu just saved a penalty from Postiga! Can the 2B side get that away goal they need???

Rayo 2 - Valladolid 1. Adrián gets his second of the night with only 3 minutes to go! Rayo are through to play Levante if no more goals!

Espanyol 2 - Jaén 0. Sidnei seems to have wrapped things up with second goal only five minutes from the end...

Valencia 1 - Nàstic 0. Alcácer gets on the end of Guardado cross to put the Ches ahead. Away goal by Nàstic would still swing it though!

Rayo 1 - Valladolid 1, Adrián, min 32. Didn't take Rayo long to equalize, but they are still behind on away goal rule...

Rayo 0 - Valladolid 1. Javi Guerra is on fire! Striker follows up Monday night hat-trick with opener in Vallecas! Vital away goal?

Espanyol 1 - Jaén 0. First goal of the evening, min 12, Simao puts the first division side ahead with a shot from the edge of the area...

Yet another coach bites the dust! Girona have just fired Ricardo Rodríguez after they were knocked out of the cup!

Madrid team v Xativa: Casillas; Carvajal, Pepe, Nacho, Arbeloa; Casemiro, Illarramendi; Di María, Isco, Jesé; Morata. Ancelotti risking it?

First four matches over, Atlético, Betis, Almería & Real Sociedad through!

Atlético 1 - Sant Andreu 1. Simeone brought on young striker Héctor, and he scored within 2 minutes! Good fight by Sant Andreu though...

Still no goals Almería - LasPalmas, but Almería 3-1 ahead from first leg...

...and Carlos Vela just made it 4-0!!! RealSociedad will play Villarreal in the next round, both with poor recent cup records?

Real Sociedad 3 - Algeciras 0. Griezmann on as sub, and within ten minutes Real get two more, Seferovic & Griezmann himself!!!

Betis 2 - Lleida 2!!! Mata levels it for the 2B side! One more and they have the away goal advantage! More woe for Betis???

Javi Ros just scored for RealSociedad against Algeciras! 1-1 in the first leg remember. Betis 2 - Lleida 1.

Monforte has got one back for the Catalans, but Betis still 4-2 up on aggregate...

Algeciras centre forward in Anoeta is Ryan Harper, a Scotsman who was born in Barrhead, but has always played his football in Spain!

No goals in the other two games which kicked off at 20:00: Real Sociedad v Algeciras; Almería v Las Palmas.

...but Adrián sends the spot kick way over the bar! Still 0-1 to the 2B team!!!

...oops, penalty to Atleti after Sant Andreu keeper brought down Adrián...

Bit of a surprise, Sant Andreu are winning 0-1 at Atlético!!! Only four more to go and they are through!!!

Murillo missed the 12th penalty, Alcorcón are through! The giant killers are back! Next up Jaén or Espanyol, then Real Madrid?

Eight penalties gone in Granada, one miss each so far...

Penalty shoot out about to start in Granada at 12:30 at night! Good thing nobody has any work to go to here in Spain...

Granada v Alcorcón in to extra time, no more goals. Could be penalties? Karnezis & Dani Giménez the keepers. Winners play Jaén or Espanyol.

...and it's extra time in Granada as Alcorcón turn round 0-2 deficit in 2nd leg.

It's all over in the Nou Camp, 3-0 to Barça! Local TV announced that next round v Getafe will be televised on open channel, 08/01 & 15/01?

Neymar, 3-0. Brilliant run by Iniesta and cross in for Neymar to head past keeper from close up!!!

Granada 0 - Alcorcón 2. Min 82, Nagore levels the tie, looks like extra time!!!

Tata must be a bit worried, he's bringing on Iniesta and Alexis to be sure!!!

Min 68, Barça 2 - Cartagena 0. Tello shot deflected in by Mariano. Will that be an own goal, or will they give it to Tello?

Half time in Nou Camp, Barça 1 - Cartagena 0. Bit of a formality, but entertaining anyway. Winners (Barça if no earthquake) to play Getafe..

Granada 0 - Alcorcón 1! Verdés heads in a corner, min 41, but Alcorcón still behind 2-1...

...easy goal for Pedro, connecting with Montoya cross...

Pedro, 1-0!

Barça with 75% possession, but Cartagena holding firm line at the back, and they just hit the post with a free kick!!!

Barça line up v Cartagena: Pinto, Montoya, Puyol, Mascherano, Adriano, Sergi Roberto, Song, Fàbregas, Pedro, Neymar, Tello. Respect!

Elche 0 - Villarreal 1. Perbet goal sets up 5th round meeting with Real Sociedad or Algeciras.

Getafe 4 - Girona 1. Getafe through to play Barça, Cartagena permitting!

Osasuna 1 - Málaga 1. Osasuna qualify on away goal rule, and will play Real Madrid (or Olimpic Xativa?!?).

Final whistle, Levante 4 - Recreativo 0. Levante first team through, to play Valladolid or Rayo!

Fifteen minutes to go, Getafe & Levante virtually through, but one goal could swing other two games...

Getafe 4 - Girona 1. Jandro got one back from the penalty spot, but Lisandro has restored three goal cushion...

Osasuna 1 - Málaga 1! Min 61, Eliseu equalizes for visitors, but they are still behind on away goal rule...

Elche 0 - Villarreal 1! Perbet puts visitors in front on hour mark!!!

..and now Levante make it 4-0 v Girona, Camarasa (who he?).

Levante 3 - Recre 0. Min 50, Ivanschitz! This one looks settled too...

Getafe 3 - Girona 0. Lafita gets the 3rd from Borja assist with 10 minutes to go to break. All over? Winners to play Barcelona in 5th round.

Kicking off at 22:00 tonight: Barcelona v Cartagena; Granada v Alcorcón. Levante 2 - Recreativo 0.

Min 18, Rubén García puts locals ahead in the tie after Ivanschitz intercepted bad keeper clearance!

Elche v Villarreal fourth match to kick off at 20:00. No goals in that one so far. 2-2 at Villarreal 10 days ago,

Levante 1 - Recreativo 0. Simao heads in a 4th minute corner to level the tie after 1-0 result in Huelva!!!

Osasuna 1 - Málaga 0. Weligton puts through his own net in the first minute!! First leg was 3-3 remember!

What a start to today's games! Getafe already 2-0 up against Girona, Sarabia 02' & Colunga pen 05'. First leg was 1-1!
